Nor public flame.. dares to shine;

Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall;
And universal darkness buries all."

Sadly too much vanity/ fear of being conspicuous and too little awareness of risks to mask (Today a nurse practitioner lowered my mask before a minor surgery 'only under your nose to make you more comfortable'😡)
